Ghost driver alert Wednesday evening in the Tyrolean Oberland: A Syrian (42) drove a small truck on the Arlberg highway in the opposite direction of travel. After going through a tunnel, he simply turned around. The highway police has removed the driver from traffic. His excuse: “I’m tired!”
You can certainly speak of happiness in disguise that nothing happened. At around 1:30 a.m., the 42-year-old Syrian drove the small truck on the Arlberg highway near Pians (Landeck district) as a wrong-way driver heading east. He endured that too Pianner tunnel.
Turned around and ignored the red light
Presumably he should then have become aware of his dangerous “accident”. Because after the subway, the man simply turned around and drove in the prescribed direction of travel. The traffic light at the tunnel had long been red. The Syrian, in turn, did not notice this.
Further travel is temporarily prohibited
Despite the “block”, he passed through the tunnel and left the highway in the municipality of Flirsch. A short time later, the 42-year-old was pulled out of traffic by the alerted highway police and confronted. “The man said he was tired and lost,” officials said.
The driver’s license and car key were temporarily taken from the Syrian. Appropriate advertisements will follow.
